Baumhoff highlights the activities of the one woman who was able to achieve the title of "master of craft," in the weaving workshop, Gunta Stölzl, who replaced Georg Muche in 1926. She outlines the various tensions between the male leadership of the Bauhaus, describing the ideas of men such as Gropius, Hannes Meyer, Wassily Kandinsky, and Mies van der Rohe, and the mostly young female students who enrolled in the school, first in Weimar, later in Dessau and Berlin.
